Bollywood sex icon apologizes after man is inadvertently bombarded by calls from her adoring fans

A popular Bollywood actress has apologized on behalf of her fans after a Delhi man was bombarded by hundreds of calls meant for the former adult-film star.

In the film Arjun Patiala, a character played by Bollywood sex icon Sunny Leone, calls out her fictional telephone number – a number which happens to belong to a non-fictional, very real 26-year-old named Puneet Agarwal.

Agarwal now receives more than 100 calls a day – the vast majority of which are from Indian men demanding to speak with Leone, a former porn star.

Asked about the unfortunate situation, Leone said she was “sorry” and speculated that there “must be some really interesting people calling” Agarwal.

But for Agarwal, a simply apology might not be enough.

“I don’t even dream anymore,” he said in an interview with the BBC. “The phone keeps ringing until four in the morning.”
